It's now been 1 week and 1 day without James. He left on thursday the the 12th to deliver a boat from La Paz to San Francisco. He's a few days behind schedule right now, but they're doing good and should be back around the 4th of July. Paradise is not the same when the one you love to share it with is away, but Mika and I are keeping ourselves busy. I just finished a set of 5 hatch covers, and have been boat sitting for a dear friend, and feeding the gatos (kitties) on another friends boat...lots of dinghy-ing around!
Mornings are very pleasant, nice and cool, beautiful sunrises and dolphins swimming around the boat. Mika's taken to barking and growling when they get to close to the boat, hackles up and all. It's adorable. Between 2pm and 5pm is the hottest part of the day, we try to make sure all errands are completed by then and we're back on the boat relaxing in front of a fan.
The sun sets around 8pm here, accompanied most days by the Coromuel (very strong winds) which cools things off nicely at night, making it easier to sleep.
I've broken the rules, I never used to let the dog on the bed except saturday mornings when she's allowed up for a bit, but now, she thinks James' pillow is hers, and when I tell her it's bedtime, she goes right for the v-berth. Gonna have to do some re-training when he gets home. I'm very glad for her company though, it would be much harder without her here.
Because the delivery came so quickly after we arrived her in La Paz, we've had very little time to explore. There's a beautiful beach on side of the anchorage where we've snorkled and collected some amazing seashells, and on the other side is the city, which is much larger than La Cruz, and I'm just starting to figure out the layout. Still haven't figured out the busses but I'd rather walk if it's not to far so the dog gets to go. When he get's back, he'll be leaving again a few days later for another delivery from La Paz to San Diego. I feel like it will be months before I get any real time with him...I hope I'm not to busy with canvas or sail work when he is home.
Well...that's where we're at now. Hope everyone reading this is doing fantastic. Be excellent to each other..and party on Dude.
